Smoke Topple Bowties as Esparza Shines
The Atlanta Smoke defeated the Buckhead Bowties, 14-4, in Premier League action at Buckhead Grounds. Armando Esparza received player of the game honors. The 11-year veteran went 4-5 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles. He scored 3 runs and drove in 3. The 7th-place Smoke raised their record to 38-42.

The game turned with no one out in the top of the fourth when Esparza, who is tied for 8th in the PL in doubles with 16, hit a 2-run home run. It propelled the Smoke into the lead, 4-2.

"It was a solid team effort and we'll try to keep this momentum going," Esparza told reporters after the game.
